Cool pics, I especially like the one of the gauges and the rear 1/4 shot. Where are you?

Im in Portland, Or.
It was dry on the roads just snow all around.
Thanks for the good feedback, I got really lucky with that 1/4 panel rear pic, It was my second try just putting my hand out the window with my camera on the freeway. Im really happy the way it turned out.

What a great set of photos! Beautiful car, beautiful places. Love all the white with the car and the snow (OK I may be partial to white cars!). Thanks for posting. I bet you have more...?

Is this speed/rpm accurate for an 83SC? I could swear I am doing 120+ in 4th gear before I hit 6,000rpm.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall the SCs had terribly high max speeds. Still, I'd say your 15 mph short. Might be something to look into...
